I just wanted to say, I enjoy the site very much and the people even more so. I know there has been certain amount of drama lately -- but when you deal with people, "Drama Happens"
I have met great people, I appreciate the humour and intelligence of the people on here. I like that people feel free to voice their opionions, and that not everyone agrees all the time. Its what makes the site interesting to keep coming back to.
That being said, I am going shopping for a sea horse shaped swimmy float for when I dip a toe in the waters around the island!

Been around the block a time or two (no pun intended) and yes there is a bit of drama.

It's the community feeling that keeps me coming back. The "meetings" in Chicago, Philly and currently in Orofino are really a great time and if anyone has the opportunity, ALL ARE WELCOME!! I have met some FABULOUS people here and some will be my lifelong friends. It's really odd in a world where we hear the worst about the internet, to find a place where it's all "good" and even those you don't get along with are respectful of your opinions.

Welcome to everyone, I know sometimes it feels like a clique, it's not. We all started here just like everyone else, and although I can swear my head off when you beat me at WR/WMs, it's all in good fun. (Truth be told, I'd trip Sicko and rub his face in the dirt...buncha others too).

The drama is just that, drama. Feelings get hurt sometimes because irony and sarcasm don't translate well to typing.

Back in the old days, my grandmother got sick and was in the hospital for almost a month. While she was gone, my uncles and aunts were at each others throats , arguing and fighting, so were the grandkids (there was a bunch of us, too). When grandma came home from the hospital, everything got quiet and back to normal. Maybe the Island should have a nice little old grandma.
